That might be more dependent on your preferences. Personally I like Volk TE37's. some of the rims on tirerack.com show you what they look like on the car.

I called 5zigen to buy the fn01-rc but they have been discontinued. Very depressing...

I think they may still make "hot version" looks the same...unless they discontinued those too. Enkei rpf1 is unbeatable for price, sizes, weight and strength, but some 17" rpf1's limit big brake options if that's a concern.

This would help narrow it down a bit on the style, do you like:

A. Mesh, B. Thick Spokes, C. Thin Spokes, D. Lip, E. No Lip?

For style, I am interested in a concave wheel. Thick spokes/thin lip/no lip it doesn't matter.

17x10's in that price range? You might check the used wheel market:

You'll usually find some good deals.
